Taking stock of the frontiers of credit and finance and discussing artificial intelligence and sustainability: this is the objective of the Summer School in Banking and Finance at the University of Cagliari , organized by Riccardo De Lisa and Giuseppe Boccuzzi.

Starting from 24 June and for four days, 37 speakers will discuss it, including representatives of the academy, banks and financial intermediaries, supervisory and resolution authorities, deposit guarantee systems, European and international institutions, of professionals from the world of consultancy in the financial sector.

« Exploring artificial intelligence - says De Lisa , professor of Economics of financial intermediaries at the University of Cagliari - and its possible integration with sustainability in banking and financial practices is necessary to start a development process that does not burn up today's resources and does not hinder future generations from satisfying their own needs." «The Cagliari event – continues the professor – will be a moment of important reflection to reflect on the transformations of the financial world and remind us that we need to promote sustainable development in this field too».

The four days of work will open on Monday 24 June at 3pm with a national seminar entirely dedicated to banks and finance: in the Aula magna of the Rectorate of the University of Cagliari the introductory speech will be given by Michele Vietti, former vice-president of the Superior Council of Judiciary, former undersecretary of Justice, and current President of ANFIR, the national association of regional finance companies.

This will be followed by speeches by the President of the Interbank Deposit Protection Fund Mario Stella Richter, by representatives of the Bank of Italy Ida Mercanti, by Banca Intesa Fiorella Santucci, by Sebastiano Laviola, former member of the board of the European Resolution Authority, and by Alfredo Pallini, general director of the Interbank Deposit Protection Fund.

The following three days will be dedicated to the School's in-depth analysis of the topics most typically related to sustainability, artificial intelligence and credit.
